“Then the Lord turned to him and said: Go in this your strength and deliver Israel from the hand of the Midianites; have I not sent you?” (Judges 6:14).
God knows, and you also know, what He has sent you to do. God sent Moses to Egypt to free three million slaves and lead them to the promised land. At first, it seemed he would fail. But did he fail? No. God sent Elijah to confront Ahab, boldly declaring there would be neither dew nor rain. He shut up the heavens for three years and six months. And did Elijah fail? No. Throughout Scripture, there is no record of anyone sent by God to fulfill a task who failed.
God does not send anyone to do His work without knowing that person will obey His commands. Obedience is the foundation for being used by Him. If you live a life of obedience to His will, God will enable you to accomplish what He assigns. Your strength will not come from yourself, but from the Lord Himself, who will qualify and equip you for every task.
Therefore, trust in God and faithfully obey what He commands you. Even if the path seems difficult or impossible, remember that God never fails in His promises. He not only sends you, but also sustains, guides, and empowers you to fulfill the purpose He has established for your life. -Adapted from D. L. Moody. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Dear God, help me to trust fully in Your will and Your purpose for my life. Just as You sent Your servants in the past for great tasks, I know You have also appointed me to accomplish something in Your name. Teach me to obey Your commands faithfully, knowing that Your strength will sustain me every step of the way.
My Father, today I ask You for courage and determination to follow the path You have prepared for me, even when it seems difficult or impossible. Give me the confidence that, just as You empowered Moses, Elijah, and so many others, You will also equip me with everything I need to fulfill Your work. May my obedience be the foundation that keeps me firm in Your mission.
Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You for being faithful in all Your promises. Thank You for never sending Your servants without also equipping them. May my life be a constant response to Your call, reflecting Your glory and fulfilling the purpose for which I was created. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your mighty Law is my support. Your commandments are sweeter than the sweetest honey. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
